I apologize for upsetting you Mark, and I value your friendship tremendously. I'm just very weary of all of this "crap" and feel that we have hit a turning point that there may well be no coming back from. I guess I am also weary of people who turn facts and history into "Hate Speech" because they don't agree, parties and ideologies who think it's ok to burn cities down, destroy lives, businesses and this wonderful country because they didn't get their way four years ago, but we are expected to stand with our hands in our pockets and dig our toes in the dirt while they run over us with their "peaceful protests".
You all know me pretty well, I'll give respect to any and all but we have come to a point, in my opinion where the ones who talk so much about bullying, wax so poetically about equality and tolerance exhibit not one shred of any of those qualities themselves. We have for too long allowed the bullies to create their own version of everything, including our history, good and bad, and just because they say it, it becomes truth, it's time for it to stop and it's time to call a spade a spade and stand up for what thousands have given their lives for over the past 200+ years.
Let's put this in perspective, how many safe spaces and comfort animals would those of you on the left have required if, in 2016 the incoming administration had declared that everyone who supported the opposing candidate will be targeted and will pay a hefty price for having been loyal to the other party? The suggested price, among other things, would be not ever getting another job in this country and being outed and discriminated against in every way possible. Oh, but let's come together and put an end to all the hate and unrest..................to quote the supposed winner of this election......"Come on man!" Beat the living tar out of 49% of this country for four years, manufacture all manner of lies and deceit, spend hundred of millions of dollars that could have, should have gone elsewhere, burn this beautiful country down because you're not pleased with how things turned out, but now we're supposed to sing Kumbaya while you flush what's left of America down the drain............you bet, where do I sign up?...Show more →
Jim...
First of all, I am not a US citizen, I am not specialized in US history/politics either, so please do not take my words as an opinion of anything US!
Politics, the worst and the dirtiest thing ever. When politics comes, ethics run away (jumps the window).
Include politics with religion, you will have what the world is crazy about these days. Include it in friendship, again things WILL break!
History is something to learn from, not to fight for. If I would fight because of history, I would hate anything British because at a point of time UK invaded us (Bahrain) and occupied us for over 100 years! I am learning from history, and I have British friends too, including James Goggin, which I am honored that I know him!
As a rule of thumb, generally, deal with people with your ethics, not with their ethics-less (so to speak)!
